Call Bostitch CS to sink 1 3/16" pins February 2, 2008 Remodeling in SoCal (Monrovia, CA United States) 51 out of 51 found this review helpful
Yes , there is a problem with driving 1 3/16" pins but Bostitch will send you an easy fix, a new driver/piston. I am surprised that no one called them and posted this . I always contact the manufacturer with any issues first, some are very helpful and others are not. Great CS from them, as I always have had from them, and an other wise very well made compact driver now will work just fine. As far as using 2"pins, they are too long for this gauge in real wood[18 ga.2"brads is even pushing it] ;they bend easily and can "blowout" of the wood[follow the grain] when using to be really useful anyway but the 1 3/16" is perfect for shoe base mld. for flooring installs and no filler is really needed. 1" pin guns limits the usefulness as other brands have as their longest length. 4 stars for the tool as is, and add 1 star for Bostitch being there to fix their problem making the gun excellent now.
Learn your tool February 21, 2008 D. Trelford (Scottsdale, Arizona) 21 out of 25 found this review helpful
I'm amazed at the amount of people trying to use this 23 guage pinner as a brad nailer or even a finish nailer. Most, if not all of the problems mentioned are due to operator error. These pinners are meant for delicate trim work where very thin and narrow pieces of wood can't be attached with a small nail or even a brad. When I read about using this guage pin on Ipe or people wanting a 2" pin it makes me cringe. It seems people are going to misuse and abuse machines all day long until they break and then they blame the machine. Learn your tool and learn the proper usage before expecting the impossible. It seems most of these "professionals" don't even know what a brad nailer is, let alone when to use a finish nail, a brad nail or a pin. There's a difference.
Kudos for pin gun May 8, 2007 L. Forsman (Issaquah, WA United States) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have been remodeling my home for the past year and was completing brand new Oak stairs with newel posts and balisters and railing. I had made all these pieces my self and I had to make some very small trim pieces and attach them to these beautiful stairs but my 18 guage trim nailer just blew them into toothpicks. I searched the web for a solution and found a review of pin guns in the JCL. I went to amazon and found the recommended gun kit. It arrived in a couple days. The little trim pieces were then tacked into place and you can hardly see the mark where the pin went through the trim piece.
23 gauge pinner August 30, 2006 Jon K. Couchman (Hopkinsville, Ky) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Very pleased with the Bostich pinner. Its great for assembling cabinet doors adding trim or molding to cabinets or wood craft items and requires little if any sanding or filling. It will drive a 1 3/16 inch pin into oak or ash with no problem and though there are pinners that will drive up to a 1 and 9/16 inch pin I have yet to come up with a need for one like that. I use 5/8 inch pins more than any other.
23-Gauge Pin Nailer February 17, 2009 R. Bartlow (Choctaw, OK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Carpentry/woodworking is my hobby and I use several air nailers on projects ranging from light construction and remodeling to furniture. The Bostitch 23-gauge pin nailer proved to be what I needed for work on furniture projects. The driven pins are virtually invisible and work equally well in soft wood or the most dense hardwood.
My only disappointment is that the 23-gauge fasteners are not commonly found at Home Depot or Lowes. However, they are easy to order from Amazon and a pack of 3,000 will last a long, long time.
Great product!
